Snow Tiger

[Albacore]

I have to apologise to the Gallery viewers for the years that I have been visiting this forum I have tried to post something once every 2 months but since Christmas this is my first quiet period that I have had. Now you think after all that time I would have something special to show but that has not happened. What did happen is that I have had to use more pencil and pen in a new job and I thought well how about using this re-emerging skill again in Xara. Did this drawing and using Zeb's ideas on tracing plus a few of my own, (always feel that I am cheating when using the Tracing Tool) this is the outcome got lost a bit in the non tiger bits. Any crits. are always welcome

Striking image, worth the wait.

No negative criticism here. Beautiful job!

very nicely in style I think - the linework is very good, and the ridge of the back in keeping - thanks, you are right, we don't see enough, your work is very good

Are you sure it not happened? well i don´t agree.
The illustration is amazing. I don´t know how you got there but if you have drawn this from scratch without tracing over an image it surely is something special
One note regarding the shadows. I think they may look better if you don´t feather them, use the shape of the (crappy English warning!) ... "hand" as the base for the shadow and use the same dark blue (maybe a little darker) we see in the snow.

ahhh... and keep posting more please (yes, this is a crit!).

Great snow tiger, Peter.

[Ron Duke]

Quite nice. I think your background works quite well.

It is a great Tiger. This had a kind of a Japanese feel to it. Reminded me of a Japanese painting.
